In this week’s study, I pick up in verse 7 and finish up in verse 8 talking about “I AM”.
Here are some of my notes from these verses. In verse 7, Eye = figure of speech, every person alive at this time. This reminds me of Mark 8:35, “After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”
They = is John alluding to Zech 12:10? “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”
In Chapter 8, verse 1, I go into detail about “I AM”
I Am = this reminds me of Exd. 3:14; ‘And Elohim said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.’ John 8:23-24, ‘And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
And verse 58; ‘Yahshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.’
Let’s take a look at that Exd 14. I AM THAT I AM = “Ehyeh ‘haw-yah’ asher ‘ash-er’ ehyeh ‘haw-yah’” the self existent and eternal Elohim; a declaration of the unity and spirituality of the Divine Nature, the exact opposite of all the forms of idolatry, human, animal and celestial, that prevailed everywhere else.
"hâyâh” “haw-yaw'” “'ăsher” “ash-er'” "hâyâh” “haw-yaw'”
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Yod = (arm and closed hand) work, throw, worship
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Aleph= (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Shin =(two front teeth) sharp, press, eat two
resh = (head of a Man)front, head, chief, first, top, beginning
I AM = ‘ehyeh” I will be [speaking of Himself]
These verse remind of what Yahshua Messiah says in John 3:14-18
Allow me to clear up some things before I begin. First of all you will hear me use the words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah instead of God and Jesus Christ. I found out through the years that the word God may not necessarily mean the same to everyone. For instance, in Freemasonry the number 1 requirement is that you believe in a God. Doesn’t matter what religion you are as long as you believe in a God. I personally like to use these words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah. To me this puts me in a closer spiritual relationship with our Creator. I am not a so called Messianic Teacher! I come to realize that every time I inhale or exhale I am saying Yahweh. Try saying Yahweh and see if you are not inhaling and exhaling. After all we our created in His image!
My intention is to take this study to a deep level. Deeper than most of you are used to! I am asking no one to agree with me; however I do ask that you check every detail that I present out for yourself.
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
